Hi Alain, Thank you for your feedback, the problem was the space character before the data_files_directories parameter. As you said the the YAML is very case sensitive.
Many thanks for your feedback and have a nice day.

BQ_BEGIN Exception (org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ConfigurationException) encountered during startup: Invalid yaml: BQ_END If I had to guess, I would say you have an indentation issue. When you uncommented those properties, did you remove "#" - 1 character - or "# " - 2 characters - including the space? If I remember correctly, YAML is sensitive to this kind of stuff. I would try that or some other similar tool in case of doubts: http://www.yamllint.com/ C*heers, ----------------------- Alain Rodriguez - @arodream - al...@thelastpickle.com France The Last Pickle - Apache Cassandra Consulting http://www.thelastpickle.com 2016-09-23 9:58 GMT+02:00 Mehdi Bada < mehdi.b...@dbi-services.com > : BQ_BEGIN Hi all, With the new apache cassandra 3.7 version, It is possible to setup a customizable path for data_files, saved_caches and commit_log in the configuration file (cassandra.yaml)?
